A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...
This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.

I get physical junk mail that makes it seem like I purchased something, subscribed to something, or signed up for something. It's infuriating to say the least, probably illegal, too.
Same. Similar to those extended warranty scams, you’ll see the disclaimer in teeny tiny print at the bottom of the page on the backside.
I just bought a car and my wife keeps wanting me to look at all the "final notice" crap we keep getting. I told her if it isn't from our insurance company then toss it.
I open them up. If there’s a prepaid return envelope, I tear off everything with my information (including any barcodes), stick it in the envelope, and mail it back. Blank, of course.
But then they have to pay the postal service to mail it, and someone to open it.
I’m a job creator!
Back in the day you could tape their prepaid letters to bricks and have em pay for it.
Now the Post Office just chucks it as "dead mail" same as other "non-mailable items" found in mailboxes.
